Okay so a lot has happened since my last post and I am sorry for the gap. We had an awesome thanksgiving dinner with Taylor and Lauren's church. Other church members attended and brought tons and tons of food. We had everything, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, and of course a plethora of desserts. It was really nice getting to sit down to a big home-made American meal. Most of my free time the past couple of weeks has been spent preparing for the LSAT and starting to write my personal statement for law school applications.
I took the LSAT in Munich on December 6th with Taylor from my team. The exam was on Saturday so we left on a train from Klagenfurt that Friday around 11am. The train ride was about 5 and a half hours long, but the views of the alps and the comfort of the train made the ride go by quickly. When we arrived we had to find a copy center to print our admission tickets to the exam. Luckily there was one right outside the train station. After we printed the tickets we walked towards the center in hopes of finding a hostel. Because it was a festival (opening of the christmas market) weekend we ended up not finding a place to sleep until about 9pm. Once we found a place though we had no trouble falling asleep because we had just been walking around the city for several hours. We got to sleep in till about 9:30 and the hostel provided a light breakfast for us. After eating we jumped on the metro towards the university where the test was being held. The exam was held as the University of Munich. The buildings there were grandiose and incessantly detailed. The entrance to the university is marked with a huge arch similar to that on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Once we had found out where the testing room was we ended up meeting some fellow American test takers. We all walked to a local bagel shop to eat some lunch before the test. The test itself was definitely a mental marathon. The test is 5 sections each timed for 35 minutes followed by a small essay question. After two solid months of preparation I couldn't be more excited for the test to be over. The funny thing about the test is that I was so focused on making sure that I was on pace that I don't really remember how well I actually did. I feel as if I could have done really poorly or really well, I wouldn't be surpised with either result. Yet I hope my score (which I get back in a few weeks) is good because I would hate to have to take the test agian. Well after the test was finally over we decided to head over to the train station and find out when the next train to Klagenfurt was leaving. To our dismay, the 8:30 train to Klagenfurt was canceled and we had to wait for one at 11:45. So we got some dinner in a Kebab shop, and then holed up in a bar and watched some American football. Overall the trip went very well, and I was very happy to get to see such a beautiful city. I would love to go back there with Heidi under more relaxed circumstances. In other news, our team won even though we weren't there and we have now improved our record to 11-0. Hopefully this means some nice christmas bonuses! : )
Pura Vida,
Adam
